DCM spot on!! except the fixed one way such as the 501x doesnt have that diff action so is just a one way.

I prefer the one way on the layshaft with a diff in the front, it gives better steering and better drive to the wheels than a fixed one way. I dont like the one way diff on the 501x, it doesnt feel correct, even with the same size diff pulley all round, hence why I am going to have to come up with a solution so I can have a one way on my layshaft with 16t pulleys.

Some like the one way fixed front, but without the one way, as DCM says it makes the car very difficult to drive and horrible in and out of corners, but the one way at the front or on the layshaft (not on the rear) kindof counteracts the back pushing and the front pulling into a corner at the same time and better balances the drive train so you can go at whatever angle into and out of a corner at what ever speed suits you.
